I'm a thinker and a seeker. I'm an artist who expresses myself through my silversmithing and paintings. I live in Sweden near nature in a little cottage house. My biggest dream is to be able to make a living out of my jewelry and paintings. Longing for a calmer life away from the city and closer to nature.
Hi you! 😄 After Sunday’s adventures, I’ve been sooo tired and a bit low to be honest…It’s not that I’m sad for what came through or such, but it’s like all my energy went to getting these answers so now I’m drained of all my energy and have to rest a bit and just be a little for myself for a few days to load my batteries ❤
These days I have tried to only do things that make me feel good. Most of the time has been spent outside in my garden. We have gotten ourselves a table from Kevins Auntie Ulla who sadly passed away early this year. This table has been standing inside her storehouse (I don’t know for how long though) but it looked like it needed a bit of love. And I saw the potential of a cozy little cafe table ☺️
So the last few days I’ve been scraping off the white color and sanded the table so that I can finish it all with a dark brown wood varnish 😁
Psst!
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote on the blog about a video blog that should have been uploaded a long time ago now, why isn’t it up yet? That’s because the editing program that a used back then worked pretty well until I was about to upload it as I said. The sad part was that it ended up with a huge watermark right in the middle of the screen…😓 So I felt that I just couldn’t upload that video.
Instead, I have been searching for a new editing program without a huge watermark! 😉 And I think I have found it! 😀 So what I want to tell you is that I have been recorded a lot these days too and started editing so hopefully there will be a video up soon after all and if everything goes my way! 🥰
Hello, my friends! 👋 I’ve been quite busy this weekend I have to say but in a good way. This Saturday we drove to Karlstad (125 km from our city Mariestad). It was Kevin, Joakim, Arvid, and my mom and I. Full car, haha 😜 We all visited their big shopping center. I mostly just enjoyed looking around in the different stores but I did find something I have been searching for for a while so I couldn’t resist buying…I’m very fond of copper-colored hair but those of you who also like to color your hair in red tones have probably experienced that the red tones don’t last very long. And you don’t want to color your hair too often because of the color treatment that isn’t very nice to your hair. Therefore I have found this color conditioner that renews your hair color without damaging it, aaand that’s what I bought. Short story long…😅
Here you have the color conditioner 😊
When we began to feel done with shopping we all went to Pizza Hut to get something to eat. At this point, I think all of us were very hungry. I for one always gets a little grumpy when hungry…so for me and everyone else, it’s good if it doesn’t have to be too long between the meals…😝
I was so hungry so when my pizza came my first thought wasn’t to take a picture of it if I say so. The picture came after I have gotten I few bites 😉 It was so delicious!
Also, I have gotten my new mobile phone! It’s the Samsung Galaxy s22 ultra! So I played around a bit with the focus and such. I’m so used to have a Samsung Galaxy s8+ so this is a big step forward for me even if the s8+ wasn’t bad either. But I have wished for a better camera for years now but my economical situation hasn’t allowed it, until now. I see it as a big investment for me to be able to take better pictures of my jewelry and also start making some small video blogs too, what do you think about that? Would you like me to start making videos too and if so, in what language? Swedish or English? 😊 (comment down below!)
My new mobile 😄
After the pizza, we drove home again to prepare for the Swedish melody festival on TV ☺
Sunday
The next day it was time for my mum, my friend Therese and me to meet a medium who can tell us what past life experiences we have inside of us.
I understand if this is a bit too much for some of you and maybe you don’t believe in these things. If so I ask you to read this with an open mind or you can just keep on scrolling 😊
For us, this was a very emotional meeting. So many things fell into place. Things I have been doing all my life and never understood why, I finally understood. These are things that should be impossible for a person you’ve never met before to know about you. I finally understand why I felt these things all my life and why I’m drawn to certain things in life that don’t always match up with what society wants you to do. Short version: I’m a veery old soul.
If you live in Sweden and are interested in finding out these things for yourselves I really recommend you to meet Andrea who can help you find out your past lives or give you healing or meditations ❤ You can find her on Facebook under the name ”Healing for Hjo” or click on the link below ⤵
In between the sessions, Therese and I went together with a friend of hers to a cozy little café at the time my mum talked to Andrea.
I took this delicious little thing! 😋 It was I think like a pannacotta or ”cooked cream” with raspberry and lime flavor. It was really a dessert in my taste because it didn’t get too sweet but instead very fresh, especially with the taste of lime! 😁
Therese took a ”hallongrotta” which means ”raspberry cave” in English (the cookie to the left👈) and a salted caramel cookie to the right 👉
We walked through the park in Hjo to get to the café and I couldn’t resist to stop for a second to take a picture and show you all! This city has so many beautiful houses!! I love all those details and everything. It’s almost like tiny castles 😜
I mean LOOK!! 😍
Yes, that will have to be all about my weekend! Thank you all for an amazing weekend and I wish you all a great start to the new one!
Hello you! 🤗 I hope you have had a good day so far. The weather here is really shifting from one day to another. Just a few days ago I told you that I fixed a little bit in our garden and I really felt the spring ”knocking at our door” but when the night came the same day it started snowing again. The day after that it got even worse and a snowstorm broke loose. I stared with a sad face at the small piles of branches that I had raked together (I’m a bit unsure if that’s the right word?) just the days before…😝 well well shit happens 😉. Anyhow, now it seems like the snow is about to melt away again leaving us with a swimming pool in our garden instead 🤭
So today I’ve been working almost all day long in my little ”Smithey” 😊 So happy when I can decide for myself if I want to go out or not to be able to work days like this 🙂
Figaro looks out through the window.

At the moment I’m working on the ring ”Big Flow” 😁
Here’s ”Big Flow” ready to meet its new owner!

Ending my post with a picture I just took where I am right now. Kevin put a little ball of hair on Figaro’s head 😝
Hello you! 👋 It’s Monday and outside it’s snowing a lot! Just a few days ago I was out in the garden and made a little patio where I later sat down and just enjoyed the sun shining and warming my face 🥰 That day was the calm before the storm sort of because that night it started snowing so much that the next morning we woke up to a winter wonderland, haha 😅 So it seems that the spring will have to wait a little bit longer! But sitting inside, looking out through the window, and watching the snowfall with a cup of tea in your hand is not that bad either 😉 what do you think? Do you want to skip the snow and jump into spring instead or can you enjoy this snowy weather too? ☺
This has been my spot so far today because I have been listening to one of the digital lectures that I have every week that teaches us about stress management (as I’ve been talking a little bit of in an earlier post 😊) we who have this kind of lectures have most of us encountered a situation in life where we’ve been burned out. So much that it’s keeping us from living a ”normal” life. So this is a little help on the way to learn how to ”start living” again in a way 🌞
A little glimpse of some of the new furniture! This kind of rustic dining table is something I am really fond of! I like this type of interior when you mix this rustic, old, heavy furniture with some small, softer, detailed decorations. They compliment each other very good in my opinion 🥰
Kevin prepare for our dinner 🥰
Joakim made pasta with chicken kebab and creme fraiche topped with some cheese, yum!
Some of Joakim’s new decorations that he bought on our road trip yesterday (with maybe a liiittle bit of help from a female friend 😉)
Some new golden candlesticks 🙂
Then later we rounded off the evening with a movie ☺ We saw a movie named ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre”. It began pretty promisingly but unfortunately, it got a little be too protracted in my opinion 😜
Overall this has been a very good day and I hope that you had a good one as well! See you ❣
